June 28, 2014William Friedkin's feature film follow-up to 'The Exorcist', 'Sorcerer', was nothing like what I expected. It followed four guys who had either made bad decisions or had just been unlucky and wound up in financial ruin. All four of them ended up in the South American jungle, transporting truckloads of nitroglycerin across treacherous terrain and through virulent weather with the incessant threat of inescapable doom all around them. Everything that could possibly go wrong did go wrong for these people. There wasn't a lot to the plot, just some guys trying to get from point A to point B without dying, but the cinematic style and the nail-biting suspense made 'Sorcerer' a truly impressive film that needs to be seen.
